Cabinet with colourful epoxy drawer fronts and HDPE mould
Submitted byManouk
Manouk, a trainee furniture designer and maker, is crafting a beautiful cabinet with epoxy drawer fronts. She has ordered an HDPE mould from us at PlasticSheetsShop, especially for her final project. This mould helps her pour epoxy without making a mess.
The project
Manouk has created a cabinet with vibrant epoxy drawer fronts. She used HDPE sheets as a mould to perfectly shape the epoxy. Manouk says, "Once you measure everything carefully and know exactly what you need to use, making a mould is straightforward."
